Episode Details

YOUR HEAD IS AGING FASTER THAN YOUR FEET.
That's not a metaphor — it's a measured, confirmed fact of physics. And it means time travel isn't science fiction. It's already happening. Right now. To you.
In this video, we explore the real physics behind time travel through the lens of Richard Feynman's legendary teaching style. Drawing from his explanations of special and general relativity in "The Feynman Lectures on Physics" and "Six Not-So-Easy Pieces," we break down how motion warps time, how gravity bends clocks, and why the GPS in your phone is quietly compensating for Einstein's predictions every second of the day.

If you could ride a spacecraft at 99% the speed of light while centuries passed on Earth — where in the cosmos would you go, and what would you hope to find when you returned?
